I came into this game on a more dominant tribe, challenge wise. It helped me to make sure I only went to tribal council twice, and in those two tribals, I got out someone who was targeting me, and I got out an inactive. Right from the get-go, I made it known that if you come for me, you are dead. *searches for a gif of Abi-Maria* I showed off how I was going to get through the game, making the best moves for me, and me only. It would have been smart for the tribe to keep Simon, seeing as he was active, but I was able to get all of the people on my tribe that had a skype to work together in order to get him out. The other pre-merge tribal I went to was the easy vote of an inactive.
Once merge hit, There was a 6-3 majority, tribe-wise. I had to make the first big move of the season, and that was the departure of JB. JB was, to say the least, a threat. He had both an idol, and a vote steal. The fatal flaw of his game, was telling me. That solidified his status as a "threat" and with that information, I was able to get my number one, Nicky, by my side to help join the minority to become a majority. That tribal couldn't have gone off any more perfect. JB had no idea, and his idol, and the advantage, gone.
The next tribal, it was a quiet day, so I just said to the Skype chat, "Hey, Kasthon isn't in here, why don't we vote him?" It didn't do him any favors being inactive, and it was him who went home. At that tribal, I got my only two votes of the season, from Alan and Rodrigo. I made it clear soon after that they best watch their back, because when I get voted for, and survive, you see your demise sooner rather than later. So Rodrigo went at that next tribal. I like him, so instead of voting for him like I wanted to, I threw my vote on Nicky, (who I knew wasn't getting votes) so that, if Rodrigo could work on Zach, Dee, or Ferdi, he might have been able to pull one to his side, and stayed. But when the vote tied, I had to lock in for him. I told people that I voted for him because he voted for Nicky, because Nicky was my number one and I was trying to get him to vote in majority, at least for the revote.
Afterwards, Alan went in a tribal that could have gone to rocks. And trust me when I say this, I was considering it. When Alan went to bed, I talked to Nicky and he said he was voting Dee, when we both knew that Alan was voting for Zach. So I knew if I voted with either of them, Alan would still go,and all that would do is piss off Zach / Dee.
During that day, Zach told me a lot. He told me that Ferdi found the idol, he told me that him and Dee were a final two, and that essentially, if we made final three, "you better try hard in that immunity" and he told me of an extravagant plan to get Ferdi to think that him or Dee was getting voted off, so he would waste the idol and get voted out in the process. Now, it seemed like a good plan was coming into motion, and I was gonna go with it because hey, what was the worst that could happen? Then, Zach tells me, "Ferdi is idoling himself. Let's just go to Plan B. Vote Nicky?" And I knew that getting Nicky out wasn't gonna happen if I could do anything about it, because I was literally told the day before that sticking with them gave me 3rd place. So I took ALL the information that Zach had given me, and what did I do? I ran to Ferdi. I got him to somehow flip with me and Nicky to vote off Zach. (I still don't know how I did it so easily.)
Then came Dee, and with me winning immunity, her being afk from the challenge, and the fact that she won the award for jury threat earlier on in the season, it was an easy vote.
The final immunity challenge comes, and it is neck-and-neck between Nicky and I the entire time. Like, literally down to the last posts. Fortunately, he forgot one of the parts of the last events, and had to start over. So I won, and ensured my seat at final tribal council.
I thought that I would have a better shot agai
